My new crate engine is.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, I finally decided to order an engine. I ordered the 260hp GM crate from Summit. Woo hoo!! So, I was tracking the shipment eagerly, when it stopped at Fargo, ND on the 7th. Yesterday, I decided to phone the trucking company to see how to track it further. It had supposedly been transfered to another company. Well, guess what. The engine never made it to Fargo!!! They are looking for it now. They will call when they find it!! Arrgh! I was going to go to Sweet Grass,MT, to pick it up tomorrow as it was supposed to arrive today. Summit says don't worry, it usually takes this long for the engine to arrive. But the trucking company can't find it!!! Now I wait.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I have an HEI distributor, Edlebrock Performer and carb, Hooker headers. I have A/C,too, although it isn't charged at the moment.
